demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the paper disc. The oxygen then produced on the disc gives it greater buoyancy allowing it to move past the markers faster. Aim To find the effect of the enzyme concentration on the reaction between Catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts (a substance that increases or decreases the rate of a reaction) 2. Enzymes bind to a molecule called a substrate‚ converting

RESEARCH Introduction There is approximately 75‚000 enzymes that exist in the human body. Enzymes are important for fast reactions that keep you alive‚ break down large molecules into smaller molecules and use small molecules to build large complex molecules like the enzymes that make DNA and enzymes also help cells to communicate with each other. I have decided to use not one but two enzymes to observe what happens to the different kind of enzymes when introduced to different PH (power of hydrogen)

Proteins are polymer chains made of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. In nutrition‚ proteins are broken down in the stomach during digestion by enzymes known as proteases into smaller polypeptides to provide amino acids for the body‚ including the necessary amino acids that cannot be biosynthesized by the body itself. Biosynthesis is an enzyme-catalyzed process in cells of living organisms by which substrates are converted to more complex products. Collagen is a group of naturally occurring

point for the enzyme (catalase) to substrate (H2O2(aq)) concentration ratio. Thus‚ to truly understand this‚ the trial time period should be extended insofar that a declination in the rate of the reaction can be observed with multiple trials. If the trends of the independent trials coincide with one another‚ then it is plausible that a saturation point may have been a factor of the linear-like trend. This case will be further discussed in one of the five major factors that influence enzyme activity:

2BMT I. ABSTRACT pH greatly affects the activity of enzymes. There is a point or pH level where maximum activity of enzyme can be achieved‚ this is called optimum pH. Invertase was extracted from yeast and used as the detanured enzymes. Two sets of six test tubes were each added with different pH level of buffered solution: 1- 0.1‚ 2-0.3‚ 3-0.5‚ 4-1.7‚ 5-1.9‚ 6-1.11. On the first set‚ enzyme stock was added while on the second set denatured enzyme was added instead. Though this experiment was not

determine the effect of various factors on the rate of reaction between an enzyme andits substrate‚ and also to determine the optimal ranges under which the enzyme activity ismaximized. Also to determine whether saline and alcohol are inhibitors or activators Hypothesis: PH factor prediction: I predict that as the pH increases so the activity of the enzyme willincrease until it reaches optimum pH range (pH 7) because the enzyme is less denaturedwhen it reaches the preferred pH level‚ and after this

CHAPTER 8 AN INTRODUCTION TO METABOLISM Metabolism‚ Energy‚ and Life 1. Explain the role of catabolic and anabolic pathways in cellular metabolism. Catabolic means the molecule is broken down into smaller parts. Anabolic means molecules are used to build bigger compounds. 2. Distinguish between kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of object in motion. Potential energy is the energy a object has due to its position or traits. 3. Distinguish between

carbohydrates begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary amylase is inactivated by stomach acid in the stomach and to a small extent‚ it continues breaking down starch (but there’s no enzymatic activities on carbohydrates in the stomach). An intestinal enzyme‚ pancreatic amylase‚ continues the activity

Alpha Amylase with Starch at Specific pH ’s and Temperatures Page 1 Abstract Enzyme ’s are used as catalysts in certain reactions. They help lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to go to completion. At optimum temperature and pH the amount of collisions of substrate and enzyme is at its highest‚ any deviation from the optimum temperature and pH will result in the denaturization of the enzyme. The purpose of this experiment is to find the optimum temperature and pH for the reaction
